Article Abstract
SAMHD1 is a deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase) that restricts viral replication in infected cells and limits the sensitivity to cytarabine by hydrolysing its active metabolite, as recently shown in acute myeloid leukemia. Cytarabine is an essential component in the Nordic mantle cell lymphoma protocols (MCL2 and MCL3) for induction and high-dose chemotherapy treatment before autologous stem cell transplantation for younger patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We here investigated the expression of SAMHD1 in a population-based cohort of MCL (N = 150). SAMHD1 was highly variably expressed in MCL (range, 0.4% to 100% of positive tumor cells). Cases with blastoid/pleomorphic morphology had higher SAMHD1 expression (P = 0.028) and SAMHD1 was also correlated to tumor cell proliferation (P = 0.016). SAMHD1 expression showed moderate correlation to the expression of the transcriptional regulator SOX11 (P = 0.036) but genetic silencing of SOX11 and SAMHD1 by siRNA in MCL cell lines did not suggest mutual regulation. We hypothesized that expression of SAMHD1 could predict short time to progression in patients treated with Cytarabine as part of high-dose chemotherapy. Despite the correlation with known biological adverse prognostic factors, neither low or high SAMHD1 expression correlated to PFS or OS in patients treated according to the Nordic MCL2 or MCL3 protocols (N = 158).

Emerging evidence suggests that the sterile alpha-motif (SAM) and histidine-aspartate (HD) domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) is implicated in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its precise role in tumor cells and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns, prognostic values, and functional role of SAMHD1 in HCC progression.

The issue of heavy metal pollution in aquaculture ponds is becoming increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to the healthy development of the aquaculture industry. Heavy metals such as cadmium and copper accumulate in ponds, not only exerting toxic effects on aquatic organisms and affecting their growth and reproduction but also endangering human health through the food chain. Bioremediation, as a green and environmentally friendly technology, utilizes specific organisms to absorb, transform, and immobilize heavy metals.

Article Synopsis
- Type I interferon (IFN-I) and its gene IFI27 are crucial in controlling HIV-1 infection by effectively suppressing viral replication and degrading its proteins, p24 and p55.
- The study found that the IFI27 variant from northern pig-tailed macaques (NPM-IFI27) is particularly effective against HIV-1, utilizing the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to target and degrade viral proteins.
- These results highlight the potential of NPM-IFI27 as a promising candidate for new antiviral therapies against HIV-1, emphasizing the need for ongoing research in host antiviral agents.

Article Synopsis
- dNTPs are super important for making sure DNA gets copied and stays healthy in cells.
- Different enzymes like DHFR, RNR, and SAMHD1 help manage the amounts of dNTPs in the cell to make sure everything runs smoothly.
- The balance of dNTPs can even affect how viruses interact with our cells and the genes that help break down these building blocks.

Article Synopsis
- - Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) triggers immune-related diseases through mechanisms like inflammasome activation, cGAS-STING signaling, and SAMHD1 tetramerization, all of which lead to the production of type I interferon (IFN-I).
- - The virus employs certain proteins (ORF3a, NSP6, NSP7, and NSP8) to inhibit immune responses, helping it replicate and evade detection, affecting various signaling pathways in the host's immune system.
- - The combined effects of these mechanisms contribute to severe health issues in multiple organs, including kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and gastrointestinal systems, highlighting the need for effective treatments to manage the disease
